Action RPG The Dwarves To Last 15 Hours, Sequels Depend on This One’s Success

11/25/16

Last year we interviewed KING Art Games right in the middle of their
Kickstarter campaign for The Dwarves, an action RPG based on the first novel of
the best-selling series created by Markus Heitz.

The game is heavily story based, as you would expect. Its gameplay has a
tactical flair in that you can pause combat at any time to plan your next move,
which should come in handy given the chaotic battles we’ve already seen in the
trailers. Gamers will be able to choose between a roster of fifteen playable
heroes, each one coming with an individual set of skills.

The Dwarves is now set to be launched on December 1st for PC (Windows,
Mac, SteamOS/Linux), PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. We reached out to KING Art
Games in order to find out more information on the game’s development and
features ahead of the upcoming launch.

If the game succeeds, are you planning to create a sequel based on the
second novel by Markus Heitz? If so, would that be funded via Kickstarter again
or not?

Of course, we would love to do a “The Dwarves 2” as well. The following
books really push the story forward to new and interesting conflicts and we
would love to build upon the Dwarves 1 formula. But it all depends on the
success of the upcoming Release of “The Dwarves” on December 1st.

How long will it take to complete The Dwarves on average, according to
your estimate?

Around
15 hours on medium difficulty on the first playthrough. But we got many
optional quests and there are different ways to get to the end. It really
depends on how you play it
